You are absolutely correct early detection is the key to survival. My son Brad lost his battle with testicular germ cell cancer on June 20, 2010 at the age of 19 after an 18 month battle. We didn’t catch his in time it had already mast sized to his liver, lungs and brain by the time we realized there was something wrong. We founded the Brad Coleman Cancer Foundation to raise awareness to this type of cancer and to stress the importance of self exam and early detection. Thank you Eric for sharing your story.

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 06:08:01 +0000http://blog.preventcancer.org/?p=3697#comment-4198Thanks for the nice piece on Eric. As a testicular cancer survivor and founder of the Testicular Cancer Society I can tell you that one of the biggest challenges we have now is awareness and early detection. Treatments for testicular cancer are highly effective if caught early. As a matter of fact, many men can get by with just removal of the testicle. But, if it is caught later the treatments are much more involved such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
